Common questions in Holly Green

Do you come out to small places like Holly Green?

No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.

Which station is closest to Holly Green?

Princes Risborough station, about 1.8 miles east of the centre.

How quickly can you serve everyone?

That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.

What if the weather’s bad?

The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.

When do you arrive?

We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.

Does the batter contain gluten?

No, not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.

What does the van need?

Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.

How much does fish and chips for the wake cost in Holly Green?

We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.

Should I sort the food myself?

For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

A chip van compared with other options

For warm food after a funeral, fish and chips from a van works well in Holly Green. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.

For planners, venues and organisers

Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.

If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.

Looking after everyone

Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:

Ask the venue about the van
Let someone else talk to us on the day
Ask a friend to run a tea table
Ask your funeral director to help estimate numbers

Give us a contact for the day who isn’t a close family member.

Tea and coffee from the hall’s urn, or a friend’s tea table, goes well alongside.

What happens on the day

The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. Summer evenings in Holly Green stay light until about 9:25pm, but in December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting near the door.
